Go to the website to check out the 6th annual Plant-Stock edu-celebration in New York’s Catskill Mountains, and Engine 2’s just launched E2 Meal Planner, and Rip’s other multi-faceted projects to get the world “Plant Strong!”

And we have a wonderful new sponsor: HealthIQ.com. You may know the HealthIQ people from their fun and educational online health quizzes, but one of the other things they do is act as a liaison for health-conscious people to get the value on life insurance. Special savings exist for certain athletes and — this is so cool — for us! Yep, because we’re vegan and the science is clear that, as a group, our health stats beat out most other groups — 15% lower risk of all-cause mortality and 9% decreased risk of cardiovascular disease — we can now save some money on the kind of insurance that would provide for our families if we were no longer here. Check off what they’re offering at HealthIQ.com/mainstreet.

"The great news these days is that vegan living is for everyone. This is such an important message, and I applaud Victoria and JL for their beautiful book that will help so many people renew their commitment to a vegan lifestyle or find the courage to take the first steps." - Emily Deschanel
